History of the Colmegna Spa: from the baths of ancient Rome to the Argentine pleasure palace in 120 years<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

He Spa Colmegna<\/strong> it was built in 1895 by the ideas of the Italian Luis Colmegna; who, having settled in the city, decided to inaugurate a space inspired by the thermal baths typical of his native land; designed to promote hygiene and personal care of the men of the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At that time, there was only one floor with hot baths and additional rooms for cooling; of what was originally the Colmegna Hydro Electrotherapy Medical Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over time and the evolution of concepts related to personal care; Colmegna was named as a spa, and its portfolio of services was considerably expanded to include all kinds of pleasures that its guests; this time men and women could enjoy without impediments in complete discretion and exclusivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it is during the time of the 50's, with the change of command from father to son; that the one-story Colmegna Institute was transformed into the fabulous six-story building, more than sixty meters deep, that it is today. Preserving its representative Italian architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"History<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Thus, with the rebirth of a new structure; the new ideology of the Colmegna Spa introduced all kinds of innovative treatments in cosmetology and body molding to its 8,000-meter surface area; moving from focusing solely on health care to adopt a broader spectrum, towards freedom and aesthetic beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now you could enjoy a gym, swimming pool, hairdresser, pedicure, various massage techniques, Turkish baths, saunas, steam baths; and any number of rejuvenating services on specially designed tours for men and women, kept entirely separate in different areas of the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other services offered by the Colmegna Spa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By the 70's, the Spa Colmegna<\/strong> he evolves in his techniques towards the demand of the female public and begins to favor a philosophy of complete beauty. Treatments for women advanced from a simple aesthetic sense or body care; to encompass a selection of services focused on building the perfect body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By then, the Spa Colmegna<\/strong> he was at the top of the public clamor; led a market where there was no competition that could match his unmatched dedication. Memorable events occurred within its walls, not only visited by important figures in history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It wasn't until the 80's, when a group of sensual masseuses in graceful clothing joined the technical staff; which was not appreciated for the time; and the legends about the acclaimed pleasures that Colmegna offered his clients began to take on a much more erotic tinge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From that moment on, wild rumors began to spread about VIP rooms and sexual services provided by vip escort<\/a> during the men's tours in the Spa; perhaps settled by the distrust of many wives and conservative women of that time; who looked with suspicion at the new additions to what until then was a safe haven from reality for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decline<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In 2016 the crisis exceeded the possibilities of the Colmegna family, to maintain the paradise that they had built for three generations. So, with a heavy heart, they accepted that it was time to leave their legacy behind in new hands; a sale was made to a group that would commit to caring for and restoring the place to its former glory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the objective did not have the opportunity to be fulfilled; Well, due to the construction of the new subway at Sarmiento 361 by the company Dycassa SA (which passed only 12 meters below Colmegna); On November 8, 2019, the pillars of the building trembled and it quickly began to collapse in some areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers and staff were quickly evacuated; the pools leaked from the tremor caused. The collapse and flooding made the structure so unstable; that the authorities had to close the premises for fear that it would collapse completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What state is the Colmegna Spa in today?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the latest reports offered, the ruins of what was once a paradise have lost all the splendor that characterized it; and so far, only the remains of the building can be seen, which is still standing, but sealed by the closing police tape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At present, the colmegna spa<\/strong> it is a place, of cracked walls and dry pools with services completely cut off. The Arabescato marble on the walls and the fine wood brought from Europe have been destroyed over time; knocked down by the near collapse, and of the six floors of luxurious facilities nothing remains but a painted structure and rubble around it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
